Year of the Linux Desktop may never be a relevant measure, but it was Steam Deck and Proton that marked the transition for me.

The deck is awesome because it’s Linux

Man, Star Control 2 was my favorite game to introduce friends to during the BBS days. Two player melee over a shared keyboard! The music in SC2 was top notch MOD/XM music back when trackers were starting to form a genre. Beeps on computers were the norm but you could hear a drum track over the internal PC speaker in this game. IMHO Tunic is the only game that came close to the wonder and awe of exploration and discovery. Absolutely a masterpiece.

Babu’s game room has my favorite YouTube review. I’ll let the bot pipe the link

I am on the lookout for audiobooks with music. Best I’ve found are podcasts (Magnus archives) and the ‘SCP exploring’ series on YouTube.

Just some BGM to fall asleep to, and some words not too important to listen to. I guess creepy helps too.

It was an excellent Dad Joke.

Solomon Epstein, didn’t get past light speed, but kudos for going all in and sticking with the project.

Still have the quake 3 Linux tin box around here somewhere…

Thank you for the heads up on broken ultra wide. I wish this was considered a showstopper for most game developers but I digress…

Nice to play some Q2 Deathmatch with people. Real lag. Feels like the good ol’ days!

Friends grow apart, it happens. Making friends gets more and more difficult.

You can decide how much effort you want to maintain relationships, and how much you invest in new ones.

It looks like you started a journey of self improvement this process can last a lifetime. At some point I discovered that people are really interesting and diverse, especially as they grow older

I think there is a celebrity book “How to talk to anyone” that would be helpful. TL;DR - interview people

Nice! Would this help big picture mode on a steam box?
